Oni configuration for Vim users
Oni has several goals, one of them is Ease the learning curve for new Vim users.
That means that out of the box, Oni is geared towards beginners.
In this post I will supply configurations to remedy that and get a more traditional feel.
The recommended configs (can be copy-pasted):
const activate = (oni) => {
// Free-up default binding
oni.input.unbind("<tab>")
// Re-bind menu controls (like auto-completion)
oni.input.bind("<enter>", "contextMenu.select")
oni.input.bind("<tab>", "contextMenu.next")
oni.input.bind("<S-Tab>", "contextMenu.previous")
// Bind a show/hide control for the preview pane
oni.input.bind("<f8>", "markdown.togglePreview")
// Bind a show/hide control for the sidebar
// (Relevant only if the sidebar is enabled below)
oni.input.bind("<f9>", "sidebar.toggle")
};
module.exports = {
activate, // A must for the above configs to be applied
// Don't use since it is geared towards Vim newbies
"oni.useDefaultConfig": false,
// Do use my own Vim configs
"oni.loadInitVim": true,
// Minimalism
"editor.maximizeScreenOnStart": true,
"oni.hideMenu": true, // Can be opened using 'Alt' on non-Macs
"sidebar.enabled": false, // Turn on if you prefer pretty GUI
"tabs.height": "2.1em",
// Pretty GUI
"tabs.mode": "tabs",
"sidebar.plugins.enabled": true,
"experimental.markdownPreview.enabled": true,
}
